February 6, 2019: Like the trucks and automobiles in Transformers, Kevin Harvick’s race car has morphed into something else.

Thanks to a creative Daytona 500-related promotion from Anheuser-Busch InBev — Car 2 Can — people can seek to obtain 40 Busch beer cans that have been made from Harvick’s No. 4 car from the 2018 season.

The race car was cut apart and specially reconfigured into 40 beer cans, now signed by Harvick and filled with Busch, the official beer of Nascar.

The effort is tied to Busch’s 40th anniversary associated with the Daytona 500, dating back to 1979.

“Wow! That’s awesome,” Harvick, who autographed the cans, said in a spot supporting the effort when he first was handed one of the cans.

"Busch Beer officials brought the idea to me last year and I thought it was great way to connect with the fans,” Harvick said via the brand. “These cans are made up of pieces of my car from the 2018 season and I'm excited for the cans to be released.”

As for the remaining 39 cans, Anheuser-Busch said that on Feb. 17, Busch is inviting the anticipated ten million Daytona 500 viewers on Fox to play a live trivia contest for a chance to win one of the exclusive cans.

To participate, people will need to look for trivia questions on-screen, then tweet their answers using the designated hash tags #Car2Can and #BuschContest.

Keep America Beautiful said its mission is to “improve and beautify community environments across the country every day.”

Busch partnered with Keep America Beautiful “as part of its ongoing commitment to giving back to and taking care of the great outdoors.”

"We wanted to do something for the hardcore fans that had never been done before, and give them a chance to hold the sport they love," Daniel Blake, senior marketing director, Anheuser-Busch,said via the company.

"This year marks the 40th anniversary of our first Daytona 500, so we created the 40 collector's edition cans to give a piece of the sport back to the fans that have been there every step of the way."
